SOLVE Participants

The SOLVE mission web page is now officially public and is located at URL
http://cloud1.arc.nasa.gov/solve  Below are brief descriptions of the 
categories and the contents that will be under each on this page.

Mission Description:
Overview of research, mission plan and objectives.  Eventually a table
will exist for easier navigation.

Organization:
Long list of participants broken down into the various groups. We 
apologize, but will need everyone's assistance with titles, groups, and
placement of personnel we are not familiar with. Please make sure 
everyone in your group is shown and include email addresses with any 
name additions given.

SAGE III:
Top level link to SAGE III homepage.

Instrumentation:
DC-8, ER-2, Balloon payloads, and ground instrument descriptions. The
instrument names on payload images will be links. Investigators, please
supply us with a one page description of your instrument (a few exist 
on ER-2 payload which may need to be updated but can be used as examples).
If instrument teams have home pages, we would be glad to include your URL
in addition to the instrument description. 

Theory:
Theory investigators, also please supply a one page descriptions of your
models or the analysis being performed.  I've made assumptions with theory
group/model names, please provide the correct name if this is wrong.

Tropospheric / Stratospheric weather:
Here we will link to the GSFC NCEP model output for daily vortex images 
and to Penn State for Kiruna and Sweden weather.  During the deployment we
will post daily forecasts here.

Project Events:
SOLVE calendar, Project updates, schedules, and other important information
will reside here.  

Logistics:
Shipping addresses, customs information, airlift arrangements, hangar and
lab layouts, maps, hotel and rental car information will be posted here.

Flight Logs:
Web forms that will be restricted to the SOLVE science team.  Here
Investigators will complete simple forms concerning instrument status,
flight suggestions, mission summaries, and forecasts. Passwords will be
distributed before the mission starts.

Data archive:
Guidelines for those unfamiliar with the data format that will be used
during SOLVE.  We possibly could have future capability to do data archive
submission and retrieval plus simple plotting of older data sets or current
SOLVE data set with mission password.

Links:
Miscellaneous links to other related pages.  Please email any URLs you feel
should be posted.


This page is intended to be regularly updated. Although now in its early
stages, it will prove to be a very useful tool if everyone contributes.
Prior to, and during the deployment, it will act as our main source for 
distributing critical information to you.  The email list this message was
sent to will also receive daily schedule information prior to and during
the deployment.  If you wish to be taken off this list please advise.  

Review what we have posted on this page and email any suggestions and
Instrument / model description to myself with a cc: to Joe Goosby at:
goosby@cloud1.arc.nasa.gov

Thanks for your assistance in advance!
